Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday celebrated in Canada, the United States, some of the Caribbean islands, and Liberia. It began as a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year. Similarly named festival holidays occur in Germany and Japan. Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States, and around the same part of the year in other places.

The Thanksgiving Early Warning System (TEWS) was working this morning… Flags were everywhere!  We can’t miss Thanksgiving this year!

The Mighty Leaf.. The leaf-blowers friend!

Fact or Fiction? The horn of plenty! Mythology offers multiple explanations of the origin of the cornucopia. One of the best-known involves the birth and nurturance of the infant Zeus, who had to be hidden from his devouring father Kronus. In a cave on Mount Ida on the island of Crete, baby Zeus was cared for and protected by a number of divine attendants, including the goat Amalthea (“Nourishing Goddess”), who fed him with her milk. The suckling future king of the gods had unusual abilities and strength, and in playing with his nursemaid accidentally broke off one of her horns, which then had the divine power to provide unending nourishment, as the foster mother had to the god.

There will be plenty to eat this Thanksgiving

Do not forget “Ol’ Tom”, the guest for the day… Well, at least part of the day!  He is looking good waiving on the breeze!

Gobble gobble… Looses a lot in translation!

We rested most of the afternoon and then got ready for the monthly Old Ranch Country Club dance!  Ghislaine ordered the cake and we stopped and picked it up so Wally would be surprised!  He was!

Wally celebrated 75 years with a great cake and loads of friends!

After dinner we went home and watched a movie plus some “Friends”.
